Grinding the flour, Congo, ca.1920-1940

“Haut-Congo. Négresse écrasant le manioc. Opper-Congo. Voorbereiding van het maniokmeel.” A woman with her baby in a sling on her back grinds cassavas to make flour. She crushes the dehydrated plant against a large angled stone. The following information is printed on the back of the postcard: “Postulats des Sœurs Missionnaires de N.-D. d’Afrique, (Sœurs Blanches), Hérent (Br) – Thielt (Fl. Oc). Postulaten der Zusters Missionarissen van O. L.V. , van Afrika . (Witte Zusters) Herent (Br.) – Thielt (W. Vl.). Ern. Thill, Bruxelles.” There is no handwriting on the back.
